May 31st

Today we had our arteriogram (also known as an angiogram). We haven't seen the doctor to get a report. It wore Eric out and made him sore. He took pain meds almost all day. So we are still waiting. That seems to be our story right now. Wait! A funny thing happens though when you wait. You also become still and that is when God speaks. It may not be a loud do this, but he speaks. It's in those quiet moments that you know God is near and he is giving you strength to last each minute of each day.

It's times like this that you start to realize the truth in things that people say. Like this saying, "Be still and know that He is God." WHAT?" When we are still and quiet and not trying to fix things, we find that God is really there all along, we just get too busy to hear Him.

Continue to pray clarity for the Doctors who look at the test information. Also, declare life into Eric's right side. I know that Eric will rise again and walk. Thank you for all your support.

Hey, Jen! I got an email from Pastor N about the good news. How relieving it must be to know that the effects should be temporary. I've been praying for you and gathering friends and church members to pray too. Know that I love you guys, and wish I could be there! Let me know if they ever mention occupational therapy. Just curious what they'll recommend. Let me know if there's anything I can do!

Just to let you know that I am remembering you in prayer. Thank God for what He is doing. Just know that you are not alone. Karen, I think of you often and am praying that God will come in and strengthen you and the rest of the family.

May God continue to multiply grace to each of you and surround you with great peace.

Love,
Joyce W. Blue Springs, MO.
